Description
Right now when typing the wrong Hex API key (for any command that requires it) shows the following error message:
error: Failed to decrypt local Hex API key
Unable to decrypt the local Hex API key with the given password.
The error from the encryption library was:
unable to decrypt message: Decryption failed
It's telling me the same thing three times: "failed to decrypt local hex api key", "unable to decrypt the local hex api key", "unable to decrypt message: decryption failed". It's also telling me about some "encryption library" I don't really care about as a user! I think a better error message should be more straight to the point:
error: Failed to decrypt local Hex API key
Unable to decrypt the local Hex API key with the given password.
Or maybe add an hint if you feel like people would need further direction:
error: Failed to decrypt local Hex API key
Unable to decrypt the local Hex API key with the given password.
Hint: try again and make sure to typed the correct local password
Or something along those lines
